Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk.
Microwave the mixture on high for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate bars are firm and set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the chocolate block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 equal-sized bars.
Store the chocolate bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
